i loved national, or The Championship, it was a great the only thing i didnt like was the half mile walk from our pits to our stands. the prices, the food and the hotel, it was like a maze with crappy elevators and even worse food, other than that the whole experance was great. I met some really great people and found out that after a while you really do loose feeling in your feet after standing for like 7 hours. And u can sleep standing up. i cant wait till next year

yes, kyle, the hotel sucked (we were down the hall from each other) i heard rumors your coaches were stuck in an elevator for 20 minutes... but that's another story...

I had a good time. I got to do VIP tours (and thereby ate in the VIP room... back to back with Woodie Flowers!!!!!), also was a Lego League Spirit Judge for a while, got to ride a Segway (for about 10 seconds... but was excited for about 2 hrs after... ask mgreenly and ray... i actually met ray when i was in that condition... lol! and he didn't run screaming... that's a tough guy!), got picked up by a green dinosaur , and petted by MOE guys (no it's NOT funny to pet the daisyhead and see me flinch!! )... all in all, a fun trip.

oh, and i got hugs from woodie AND dean! and a compliment from woodie... you can imagine i was bouncing for the rest of THAT day... hehe!

The team in that picture is team #141 the wobots, I think.

I had an awesome time. Probably my favorite event ever. Heh I really didnt care about the park, but it was still cool to hang out with people from other teams at the park for awhile both nights. I think the longest line at the park I waited at was for the metal detectors at the front of the park. Im assuming thats a popular ride Also I made a human pyramid and was unsucessfully blackmailed with a poster (That quote is totally bogus!! )

[Breanne M]

are you at the top D.J. ?? How long did the pyriamid last?

Yeah, I am at the top....heh it lasted for a few minutes until i started moving around ontop and making the people below me nervous...then I hopped off and the rest of the pyramid fell down

[Breanne M]

heehee sounds like fun. Hey, your b-day is 11 days after mine!

I also had lots of fun at nats, despite losing my tote bag (some team was handing them out... 279 maybe?) that had my clipboard, team hat, and unofficial duct-tape hat inside, not to mention 8 AAA's. Those suckers are expensive...

Anyway, I thought the park was fun, for one day. You just have to pick the right rides. The contest was a blast, especially wandering aimlessly in the pits making friends. Cheering for the alliance that had just knocked us out of the tourney was even fun.

On a related note, I can confirm that purpledaisy was indeed quite neurot... I mean, excited after the Segway ride.
